Why would anyone want a diesel for offloading? They're really heavy and the torque is all wrong. Good for towing etc, but not best choice for a real hunting rig in my opinion...
Not at all true.
Somewhat condition dependent, but diesels produce tons of
torque at the very bottom. Right where it works best, except for
certain mud/snow scenarios where you need throttle response and
high rpm.
My Diesel Dodge is unreal in most conditions.
Just let out the clutch, no throttle at all.
If it spins, pedal it, the wheels grab and off you go.
Steep, tight, no need to match fuel and clutch or heel/toe.
Let out the clutch in 1st or 2nd, and it goes.
Ford/Chevy V8s are not as good in that regard, but they still build
good torque at idle. With a governor to prevent stall.
No idea if you are familiar with semis.
But you do not, ever, need to touch the throttle to get one rolling.
At least nothing built in the last 30+ years.
